My kids and I really liked this book a lot! I am aware the other reviewer cited several reasons why they thought it wasn't good, but I feel that it served our needs perfectly. We recently, while searching for a good family dog who would be a perfect companion to our boys ages 6, 8,and 12, found in our local shelter, one of these dogs. She was not a pup, and seemed to be a former family dog which was what we wanted. She had been picked up as a stray, dirty and haggard, and very hungry. But by the time they cleaned her up she was SO beautiful! We all loved her right from the start, and the feelings were mutual. Now all we needed was a book to help us learn all about her, and how to take good care of her. This book was perfect. Not too wordy, or technical, as most of the others were. And the bright color pictures are great! The boys found one picture that looks exactly like our Aussie! We have learned a lot about our pet from the book. And our sweet girl is turning out just fine. We adore her. her name is Happy because that's always the way she looks!
